The reaction given is:

4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP

The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.

The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.

Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.

And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:

Ga (0) - 3 e-    ----> Ga (3+)

P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)

So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.

Answer: 3 electrons.

When 32 grams of aluminum react, the actual yield is 105.5 grams, what is the percent yield?
user100 [1]

Answer:

329.7%

Explanation:

Percent Yield = Actual Yield/ Theoretical Yield x 100%

Percent Yield = 105.5g/32 x 100% = 329.69 ≈ 329.7 %

"acid is responsible for the odor in rancid butter. a solution of 0.25 m butyric acid has a ph of 2.71. what is the ka for"
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:- The Ka for the acid is 1.53*10^-^5 .

Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

I 0.25 0 0

C -X +X +X

E (0.25 - X) X X

where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.

X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.

Ka = [H^+][A^-]\frac{1}{HA}

Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.

Ka = \frac{X^2}{0.25-X}

Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:

pH = -log[H^+][/tex]

on taking antilog ob above equation we get:

[H^+]=10^-^p^H

[H^+]=10^-^2^.^7^1

[H^+] = 0.00195

So, X = 0.001195

Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-

Ka=\frac{(0.00195)^2}{0.25-0.00195}

Ka=1.53*10^-^5

So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is 1.53*10^-^5 .

A chemical reaction involves reactant species A, B, and C. Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of sp
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]

Explanation:

The dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of the reactants is given by the reaction order of each one, as shown in the rate equation.

Rate=k.[A]^{x} .[B]^{y} .[C]^{z}

where,

k is the rate constant

x, y, z are the reaction orders.

  • <em>The rate of reaction is not affected by changing the concentration of species A.</em> This means that the reaction order for A is x = 0 since when its concentration changes, the rate stays the same.
  • <em>Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of species B increases the rate by a factor of 4.</em> This means that the reaction order for B is y = 2, so when the concentration is doubled, the new rate is 2² = 4 times the initial rate.
  • The rate of the reaction is linearly dependent on the concentration of C. This means that the reaction order for C is z = 1, that is, a linear dependence.

All in all, the rate equation is:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]
